xcall FP_POW(result, operand1, operand2)

result

Returned with the result of raising operand1 to the power of operand2. (a8)

operand1

The base. (a8)

operand2

The exponent. (a8)

The FP_POW subroutine raises one floating-point number to the power of another.

The following equation is performed:

result = pow(operand1, operand2)

Result, operand1, and operand2 are native floating-point numbers represented as a8 variables.
